31 Days to Decluttered

Smart advice from pros and GH editors to help you finally get your house organized this year

Kitchen Wisdom: Boost efficiency and access in the same square footage

13. Show 'em OffBulky pots and pans can quickly gobble up valuable cabinet space. Be like Julia Child and put them on display  just hang from S-hooks on a pegboard or from a suspended pot rack.  Alison Victoria, host of HGTVs Kitchen Crashers

14. Put a Lid on ItGet a handle on pots lids: Mount a rack on the back of a cabinet or pantry door. Or, try a roll-out rack installed in a lower cupboard (minimal DIY skills needed).  Alejandra Costello

15. Gather RoundGet cooking faster: Store utensils in a canister by the stove.

16. Purge the PlasticAvoid an overflow of storage containers: Keep just a few of each size  and top out at 12.  Alejandra Costello

17. De-Junk DrawersStash only those items used daily, and move the rest to a more out-of-the-way spot.
